Manchester United are close to signing teenage Chinese striker Dong Fanzhou according to Sir Alex Ferguson. The 18-year-old had a trial at Old Trafford in September and is currently playing for Dalian Shide in his native country. Ferguson confirmed in the US press: "We're signing a Chinese boy, hopefully in the next few weeks." Dong's club manager Lin Lefeng added: "What United have offered is not meant to be disclosed, but I can assure you that it is more than a million [pounds] we are talking about here." Signing Dong would of course give United added appeal to the millions of Chinese television viewers who follow Premiership football.
